Afternoon Confessional: Why Didn’t He Google Me?

A few weeks ago, I had a blind date and was shocked and horrified that the guy didn’t do a little web-vestigating beforehand. In this day and age, am I the only one who thinks that Google is a predate necessity, just like shaving your legs?

Why do I think it’s so important? Well for one, I’m not a great self-promoter, and I get embarrassed talking about my career and accomplishments. I’d really prefer if they just got all the pertinent info off the Internet.

And obviously, I’m going to be stalking them, so I’d rather it be a two-way street. But it’s strange—the more I like someone, the less prone I am to Googling them. It’s like someone telling you how a movie ends before you see it—you’d rather find out for yourself.
